I envy teams that have young, two-way players.

Yeah, it might be a pipe dream, but still probably a goal for him this season.

Lauri’s goal this season is probably to make the All-Star Game. I wonder how games like this, where our young team can’t compete and he’s taken out early (with 12 points), affect his motivation. If this keeps happening, would he start thinking about asking to be traded?

Lol. Did you even watch the game? Both teams pulled their starters early.

Hardy is still quite young and has a lot to learn as a coach, but to say that he doesn’t know defense is pretty wild. If we had OKC’s roster instead, would we still be struggling defensively? We wouldn’t.

Okay. Did his girlfriend fill you in?

I hope Collier plays tonight. He must be itching to get on the floor.

Do we know for sure there were no negotiations? Like, nothing at all? Or that they had negotiations initially but didn't continue for some reason.

Could it be that the Jazz didn’t want to extend Kessler (Oct 20 was the deadline for it) because their medical staff told them there was a chance the injury might not heal on its own and could require surgery? Idk, just speculating here.

I’m with you, fish. I’m pretty excited to watch the Jazz play this year because of the storylines (young guys, Lauri) and the importance of this season for our future.

Welcome on board. Three No. 1 prospects up for grabs, plus a few other kids with star potential.

Let's not jump to conclusions yet. Hitting 3s in the gym doesn't mean much. But I sure hope he'll be hitting them and free throws this season. That would be fun.

A lot of talk about Kessler’s situation here. Kind of hard because it seems we don’t know the facts. But I’ll say this. Teams don’t give a player a big contract until he’s proven that he deserves it. If Kessler had shown he can shoot, pass, and defend the perimeter in addition to protecting the...

Finally get to watch Jazz games again. Many storylines this season.

Damn, if we could snag AJ, Peterson, or Boozer. And do it while keeping Lauri. AJ/Peterson/Boozer + Ace + Lauri + the best ones of our current young players + veterans we could get with our solid draft assets. We could be a powerhouse in 3-4 years, maybe even sooner.

Good game. AJ is fun to watch. Effortless & efficient.

Good questions. Our hard tanking last season was a success. Ace looks promising, and Clayton could be a keeper as well. But we can’t stop there. Can we keep the tank rolling and put ourselves again in a good position for next year’s loaded draft? That’s easily the most important question for me...

One thing I’ve noticed about Clayton is his ability to often “see” what his opponents are going to do, or what his teammates could do, before they do it. That puts him in the right places on the court on both ends. He reads the game well.

Sure, the point guard position is going to be one of the storylines this season. We have to let Key, Collier, and Clayton compete for it. For me, Key still has to show he can process the game like a point guard, Collier still has to show he can shoot, and Clayton is just starting at the NBA...

I'm with you. If we don't manipulate lineups, we will overachieve.
